Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus
TEXT Line 2. Abū l-Ḥasan: zd[ḫrg] rather than zdḏ----
Commentary
Line 1: the left arm of the drawing of a man comes close to the final letter but does not touch it, so the reading l is secure. Line 2. On the photograph, it is clear that the letter after zd is ḏ and that what follows it does not appear to be letters. If the name is complete, it is presumably a hypocoristic of zd-ḏġbt.

Associated Drawings
To the left of the text there is large drawing of a human figure, and below the end of line 2 is a curious mixture of what appear to be a stick-figure human and a stick figure ibex (?) which share some of the lines.
